The Champion

Christian Ferro (Andrea Carpenzano) wants to be left alone to play football. He has the talent for it and the temper that keeps costing him. After his latest screw-up, the team's president hires a tutor, Valerio Fioretti (Stefano Accorsi), a shy professor who lives about as far from a stadium as a man can. Leonardo D'Agostini lets the two stay stubborn with each other, and a young man learns what he owes the people willing to teach him.
